Amphora S.R. Dark Cavendish 50g

I was blown away by how complex the flavor is for a Cavendish—the Kentucky and Turkish leaves really shine through. The pouch note alone is rich and inviting, and it burns slow and cool in the bowl. This is perfect for an evening smoke when I want something that demands my full attention.

The room note is surprisingly smooth for a blend with this much Kentucky and Oriental in it. I’ve been reaching for this after dinner every night, and the double-fermented Cavendish keeps the smoke mellow all the way to the bottom of the bowl.

The double fermentation really shows—it’s smooth from the first light, with the Virginia adding a subtle sweetness that lingers nicely. Burns even and cool, no bite even when I’m puffing a bit fast. This one’s earned a permanent spot in my rotation.
